Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by consistently mentioning SMB (a Windows-centric protocol) before NFS (a Linux/UNIX-centric protocol) when discussing storage backends. The examples and explanations focus on SMB shares, with NFS only mentioned as an alternative, and there are no explicit Linux command-line or tooling examples. There is also a lack of parity in discussing Linux-native storage tools or patterns, and no Linux shell or CLI examples are provided.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of SMB and NFS mentions, or lead with NFS in some sections to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
- Provide explicit examples for both SMB and NFS, including sample YAMLs or CLI commands for each.
- Include Linux-native command-line examples (e.g., using Linux shell or kubectl from a Linux terminal) where appropriate.
- Discuss Linux/UNIX storage patterns or tools (such as mounting NFS shares via Linux commands) alongside or before Windows-centric approaches.
- Clarify that both SMB and NFS are supported equally, and provide guidance for Linux users on best practices for NFS-backed storage.
